Sexist Frat Movies....Yeah, That's The Problem....

Yes. Frat movies staring guys like Seth Rogan drove the @ss to kill 6 people.Indeed, as important as it is to understand Rodger’s actions within the
context of the mental illness he clearly suffered, it’s just as clear
that his delusions were inflated, if not created, by the entertainment
industry he grew up in. How many students watch outsized frat-boy fantasies like “Neighbors”
and feel, as Rodger did, unjustly shut out of college life that should
be full of “sex and fun and pleasure”? How many men, raised on a steady
diet of Judd Apatow comedies in which the shlubby arrested adolescent
always gets the girl, find that those happy endings constantly elude
them and conclude, “It’s not fair”?
